We fight the battle together
Hi, I was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer in 2009. I was almost totally blocked. I had an 8 cm tumor and 2 more behind it. A long surgery....had to have a second surgery about a month and a half later to finish getting the rest. My cancer kept coming back...it is reoccurring. Eventually went thru 6

Cautiously optimistic.
Hello again from Northumberland. Now in between my 2nd and 3rd BCG treatments, and recently had another cystoscopy examination. No visual signs of my unwelcome bladder lodger, and significantly no cancerous cells detected in lab samples from my bladder washes. I think I have probably still got a long

Flu shots
Just curious . Skipped my flu shot last season as I apparently was sky high hypo at the time and was so fatigued I didn't think I could handle getting a shot. I never did get sick either surprisingly given my immune system felt shot down. How do people feel about flu shots and hypothyroidism.

Can't get rid of fevers and picking up colds and chesty
Hi I was only diagnosed 3 weeks ago and still waiting for results on cells and immune system. I have had the flu jab but can't seem to shake this tight chest with phlegm and cough and fevers and tiredness. Is this just normal or the CLL? Don't have my appointment with the haematologist for another 4

What are your thoughts?
I was informed in a matter or fact way in November by the nurse on thecradons I was being asked to do some breathing tests when I went on requested for a flu jab. I was informed it was for my COPD which was news to me. I have been to hell and back emotionally with the disgnosis. I had been some months

Weak research
Underwhelmed by the small number of studies looked at for the article about autism and paracetamol. JAMA Pediatr. 2014 Apr;168(4):313-20. doi: 10.1001/jamapediatrics.2013.4914. Acetaminophen use during pregnancy, behavioral problems, and hyperkinetic disorders. Liew Z1, Ritz B2, Rebordosa C3, Lee PC4

Just diagnosed with PMR and concerned this will impact on my bladder cancer treatment -
Hi. I'm new here.... Does anyone know if there is a conflict of interest between Prednisolone and BCG treatment for bladder cancer? I was diagnosed with bladder cancer Nov 2015, had the tumour removed Dec 2015 and began 6 weeks of BCG treatment (a treatment instilled directly into bladder once a week

pneumococcal vaccine
Have received a message from doctors' surgery asking me to contact them regarding a
pneumococcal
vaccine
. In view of the amount of medication I have and am taking I wonder if this is advisable especially as I have had very bad reaction to flu jabs. Would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

23-valent pneumococcal vaccine
I was out on my insurance companies personal website and on it they suggested a 23-valent
pneumococcal
vaccine
because of my cancer. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it common? Have you been recommended to get it? I have an appt with a medical oncologist on Monday so I'm going to ask.

Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Fish - Marine Omega-3 - EPA & DHA
This is a companion piece to "Foods/Supplements-Vitamins: Fish", that considers marine omega-3 from seafood & supplements, & attempts to explain why it may be important in PCa, in spite of conflicting studies. Human studies have yielded confusing results. One might expect inconsistencies between populations

Update on my Bladder Cancer

Most likely start chemo a week from this coming Monday. I will also have a bone scan on Thursday to see if the

I surprised myself at my lack of reaction when the urologist told me a had a tumor in my bladder- was just one more thing to do. had that surgery and a follow up one- then the seemingly endless series of BCG infusions and more inspections. the most uncomfortable parts of it are: wearing the cath after

Cancer nearly killed me
Bladder cancer, Nearly killed me, after the removal of two bladder tumour for ten days I was an emotional wreck. I must say that I prayed for death. Being also diabetic it made it worse. because my immune system was diminished the with BCG treatment made me ill.

BCG treatment was a success!
Had my 3rd Cystoscopy today following a 6 week course of BCG. Apparently my bladder is in terrific shape and the cancer has not returned since being removed in December. Looks like I will be keeping my bladder after all. I was sure I was going to lose it! Good luck to everyone else out there waiting

Hi--I've never posted before, but have been encouraged by many of your posts. In Jan., I had a kidney removed because of a tumor that turned out to be a urothelial carcinoma (more typically a bladder cancer). The doctors felt chemo would be too hard on my remaining kidney. At my quarterly check-up
